-Generally speaking, each class/struct should have its declaration in one file (header) and its definition in another file (source file). If a class/struct is very small then it can be contained in a header, for example if it only contains variables and no functions. Qt specific: note that QObject/QWidget-based classes have to have their own header file in order to the MOC (Qt's meta compiler) to find them.
